This film shows the farmer preparing his field by spreading it with manure, ploughing, cultivating, and finally planting the seed. We follow the crop through the season as it grows from tiny green shoots to a beautiful golden crop that is ready to be harvested by the enormous combine harvester. GRASS - Not always thought of as a crop, grass is valuable for grazing animals in the summer and for making hay and silage for use during the winter. We see how farmers use an exciting range of machines to cultivate this important crop and then harvest it to make hay and silage. We also see a crop of gigantic 'Elephant Grass' being harvested to produce bio-fuel. MUSHROOMS -- Discover how this unusual crop is grown inside dark tunnels using all kinds of unusual machines to plant, pick and pack them ready for the shops. PEPPERS -- See how peppers are grown in an enormous greenhouse which is the size of twenty football pitches! These plants are grown using no soil and we discover how their food and water is prepared and delivered through a series of pipes. We also discover why the pepper farm's other important product is electricity!
